Two students go to London and discover it really is a small world

February 10, 2016

Sometimes you have to travel far to discover what a small world it really is.

That was certainly the case when Taylor Rice ‘16 and Trevor Sutherland ‘17, both business administration majors, went to London for the Winter Term course “London Street Markets: How Londoners Live, Buy and Sell,” led by Associate Management Professor Frank Hamilton.

“Trevor and I had not met before Winter Term,” Taylor recalls. But they soon learned they had both lived at the Sigma complex “and probably crossed paths countless times.”

Hamilton divided the students into four groups and appointed a student to lead each one. Taylor was the leader of a group that included Trevor. “The first day, we were making small talk and it came up that Trevor is from Texas,” Taylor says. She grew up visiting family in San Angelo Texas, about an hour from Midland.
